Slindon

Overview

Steal away to an orchard by the south coast in the country's newest National Park.

Natural and unspoilt sum up our peaceful Slindon Club campsite set in an orchard on the edge of Slindon Forest, National Trust owned bluebell woods, in the heart of the South Downs National Park.

This 40 pitch campsite has beautiful views across the coastal plain of West Sussex and is home to a variety of bird and wildlife. Facilities on site are limited to a water tap and chemical waste point.

There are many walks direct from the campsite through surrounding woodland and estate which has 25 miles of public right of way and ten geocache boxes waiting to be discovered. The National Trust owned Slindon village is a stroll away and has a pub (The Spur) and community store - The Forge - which also serves as a café. Cyclists can have their pick of circular routes all starting from the village.

The market town of Arundel, east of Slindon campsite, boasts a castle, a cathedral and the Arundel Wildfowl Trust – a 65-acre haven for wildlife. Amberley museum just north of the town looks at the area’s industrial heritage. Parham House and Gardens at Storrington and Goodwood House to the east of Slindon, West Dean Gardens and Denmans – a tamed wilderness garden – near Chichester and are all interesting days out, as is the Weald and Downland Open Air Museum.

Beach lovers should head to the family–friendly beaches at Littlehampton, Bognor Regis and West Wittering.

Please note that this site has no toilet or showers, so you will need suitable facilities in your unit.

Each of our visits this year have coincided with the Farmers' Market in Slindon Village Hall (fourth Thursday) But there is also a well stocked village store in Slindon. Excellent walks around the Estate, and an ideally placed site for visits to Portsmouth, Goodwood, West Dean Gardens and Petworth House. Easily reached from our home just outside Winchester, with enjoyable drive through Petersfield, Midhurst and Petworth on the A272.

Lovely site on the edge of a picturesque village.

Lovely site on the edge of a picturesque village. Lots of great walks so a nice site for campers with dogs. A short drive from Arundel and Chichester.
The only downside for us was that there is no pub in the village. There is one on the other side of the village but it is a by a busy road, not sure if you can walk to it?

Set in the heart of a National Trust area, there is plenty of nature walks from the front of your motorhome/caravan or, if you prefer, cycling. If you get fed up with the nature walks there is only approx 8 miles to the coast and beach! enjoy.

Nice welcome.Had booked a grass pitch by mistake should have been grass and electric. Not a problem we were accomodated with a pitch by the reception. Set up and apart from the odd traffic it was a nice spot away from the corral in the main field. Would like try a more secluded spot on the perimeter next time though even though it might mean no leccy. Shop has ice creams so a bit further away would help my waistline too.
Site is very well kept and in a wonderful location and surrounded by so many places to visit it is in our book for another visit soon.
